Osinbajo denies collecting N4bn from suspended EFCC boss Magu

 

As the acting chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission faces presidential panel over alleged diversion of recovered loots, an unconfirmed report broke out on social media.

The report claimed that the EFCC boss told the panel that he gave Vice President Yemi Osinbajo N4 billion. The unsubstantiated report has been widely circulated on various social media platforms.


The vice president’s spokesperson, Laolu Akande, has, however, dismissed it, describing it as fake news.


Akande said he the report was “calculated to confuse and concocted to smear” the vice president’s image, adding that Osinbajo will “never be involved in any such shady activities”.
